Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella dies


Anthony Minghella, a screenwriter, opera director and the Oscar-winning filmmaker of “The English Patient,” died of a hemorrhage Tuesday at age 54.
Minghella’s death came five days before the British TV premiere of his final film, “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.”
Spokesman Jonathan Rutter said Minghella died early Tuesday at London’s Charing Cross Hospital. Rutter said Minghella underwent surgery last week for a growth in his neck. He said the operation “seemed to have gone well. At 5 a.m. today he had a fatal hemorrhage.”
